Chapter 432 — Chapter 432 Supreme Heaven’s Legacy

After revealing that the founder of their faction also had the Heaven Refining Physique. Xu Jiaqi continued to speak, "As you can already guess by now, both of these people that used to have the Heaven Refining Physique had achieved great things in their life, so I am hoping you’d be the same."

Yuan then asked, "What about its limits? I have a few treasures with me that might help me reach Spirit King or above if I consumed them, but I was told that my body would not be able to handle it, as I’d be gaining too much spiritual energy at once."

"There is a limit." Xu Jiaqi said, and she continued, "The Heaven Refining Physique merely allows you to consume things like monster cores and demon cores, but if you consume too much spiritual energy at once, your body will explode just like any other cultivator. It’s just that your ’limit’ is higher than others, so don’t overestimate yourself and consume only what you can endure."

"I-I see..." Yuan mumbled, feeling relieved that he’d listened to Feng Yuxiang’s advice and didn’t consume the Dragon Ancestor’s blood essence.

"Furthermore, once you reach Spirit King, your Heaven Refining Physique will no longer work."

"Wait... what?" Yuan’s eyes widened with shock when he heard this.

"I mean, it will still work, but it won’t be as effective. This is because you haven’t unlocked the full potential of the Heaven Refining Physique. Once you evolve it, you will be able to consume treasures above Spirit King."

"Heaven Refining Physique’s full potential? How do I evolve a physique? I didn’t even know that was possible."

Xu Jiaqi shook her head and said, "I don’t know. The founder never really gave any details, but he once said that he had to ’evolve’ his physique before he could further improve his cultivation past Spirit King."

"The Heaven Refining Physique is an extremely rare and unique physique. There is almost no information out there, but if it’s anything like other physiques that can evolve, you’ll have to temper your body with some sort of treasure."

"Temper my body... Okay, I will keep that in mind."

"I will try to look through some records to see if the founder had left some clues behind, but I cannot promise you anything." Senior Bai said.

"Thank you." Yuan nodded.

"If you go to the Demon Sealing Clan, they might have some answer since their founder had the same physique, but it’s going to be a challenge trying to approach them." Xu Jiaqi suddenly said.

"Though, since you have their founder’s physique, maybe it’ll be easier for you."

Xu Jiaqi then asked, "Do you have any more questions?"

"Is there anything else I can consume besides monster cores and demon cores?" Yuan then asked.

Xu Jiaqi pondered before speaking, "The founder usually consumes monster cores and demon cores, but I have seen him consume spirit stones at times. Obviously, cultivators don’t normally consume spirit stones."

"Spirit stones, huh..."

Sometime later, Xu Jiaqi asked him, "By the way, do you still have my Ancient Spirit Jade?"

"I do... but I don’t have it on me. Do you want it back?" Yuan said to her.

"You don’t have it on you? Even though I told you to keep it close to you? What if you lose it? That thing isn’t cheap, you know. In fact, it’s worth more than everything in the Lower Heavens combined." Xu Jiaqi quickly began lecturing him.

"It’s okay, my friend is keeping it safe for me. Since she’s much stronger than me, it’s safer to let her protect it."

"You gave it to somebody?! How can you be so trusting? I highly doubt this ’friend’ of yours won’t take advantage of your kindness and steal it from you."

"She won’t do that. We have been together since the beginning, and I trust her fully."

"Oh really? Who’s this friend of yours and what’s her background?" Xu Jiaqi suddenly inquired about Xiao Hua.

"Her name is Xiao Hua, but I don’t really know her background..."

Xu Jiaqi coldly snorted after hearing this and said, "How can you trust somebody when you don’t even know their background? Laughable. And judging from your aura right now, you can kill even a Spirit Lord with some effort. As if there’s someone stronger than you in the Lower Heavens."

"It’s true. She’s a Spirit King."

"Spirit King? How can there possibly be a Spirit King in the Lower Heavens?" Xu Jiaqi frowned.

"I think it has something to do with her Legacy, but she never told me the details. Though, she did tell me that her mission was to bring me to the Supreme Heavens."

"The Supreme Heavens?"

The frown on Xu Jiaqi’s face grew deeper, and she spoke after a moment of silence, "The Legacy your friend has... Is it the Supreme Heaven’s Legacy?"

"Eh? You know about her Legacy?" Yuan asked with a surprised look on his face.

"Haaa..." Xu Jiaqi suddenly sighed before rubbing her eyes.

Even Senior Bai shook his head with a complicated expression on his face.

"I won’t say too much since it’s none of my business, but your friend... You should separate yourself from her as soon as possible."

"Eh? Why?" Yuan was baffled by her warning.

"Because she’s an ’Exile’." Xu Jiaqi said in a cold voice.

"An exile? What is—"

However, before Yuan could ask about it, he suddenly experienced a sharp pain in his chest.

"Ah!"

Yuan suddenly released a painful cry, startling Senior Bai and Xu Jiaqi.

"Hey! What happened?!" Xu Jiaqi asked him, but Yuan was no longer conscious.

Seeing Yuan’s body falling to the ground, Xu Jiaqi subconsciously reacted and went to catch his body.

"Elder Bai!" Xu Jiaqi suddenly shouted his name.

Senior Bai quickly appeared beside her and touched Yuan’s forehead with his finger to examine his body.

"He’s just unconscious. His body isn’t harmed." Senior Bai said a moment later.

"What happened to him?"

"I don’t know. Let me examine his condition some more."

While Senior Bai examined his condition, Yuan himself was completely unaware that he was unconscious.

In fact, after experiencing the sudden pain, Yuan found himself in an unfamiliar place, almost like he had been teleported to somewhere.

In this new place, the sky was dark and somewhat red with red lightning striking the ground every second.

Yuan looked around, and to his surprise, even shock, there were bloodied corpses in every direction that piled up like mountains.

It was a horrific sight that would terrify even the most cold-hearted cultivators in the world. However, for some reason, Yuan didn’t feel anything when he saw this bloody scene.

"Hm?"

Yuan lifted his arms when he realized that he was holding onto something in his hands.

"What the... Why am I holding this sword?" Yuan was speechless when he realized that he had a sword that was still dripping with blood in his grasp.

Suddenly, a loud roar that caused the place to tremble resounded behind him, causing Yuan to turn around.

When Yuan turned around, he saw a person wearing clothes soaked in blood and a bloodied face flying at him.

Yuan didn’t recognize this person, but it was clear to him that this person was trying to harm him.

And without thinking, almost as though his body reacted instinctively, Yuan swung his arm, slicing the man cleanly in half.

The dead man’s body fell onto the ground and immediately blended in with the environment that was littered with countless corpses.
